Windows 10: GPU Display Driver reset itself

Booted up and monitor wasn't detecting signal (VGA) disconnected and reconnected the cables, finally it detected the monitor, but all the text was in low resolution.

After opening nvidia control panel moments after it readjusted to to correct resolution.

What could have caused this? I'm using W10 (2004) and using legacy display drivers for my old GeForce 6800 GS from this link: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

Notice it doesn't say Windows 10 x64 support. Maybe its not compatible? It seemed more stable prior when i was on Windows 8.1, but upgraded.

Is there a more stable driver for this card?

Also saw this: "WARNING! After installation this driver you NEED to delete the spurious user of NVIDIA UpdatusUser (through compmgmt -> Local Users and Groups)! It is the source of system updates "Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070020"

Shall i do this?
